This plant is blooming now April 26, 2004 in my yard. It is approximately 8 feet tall by 6 feet wide and I have had it for over 10 years, having bought it as a 6 inch seedling. It grows wild in Pennsylvania and attracts many bees to the flowers.

Seed pods forming in late Spring. The bean like pods will cover the tree and seedlings will pop up.

Redbud seedling. These appear in late Spring, after the seeds have stratified over the Winter.

This venerable tree has decided to recline in its old age but still puts on a stunning display.

One of my faorite trees. It really shows it's stuff in the spring.
